An industry-government advisory committee has voted to send a report to the Federal Aviation Administration recommending actions the agency could take to allow passengers to use some electronic devices during takeoffs and landings.

“The report contains methods and techniques that airlines can follow to make sure personal electronic devices can be used safely during the flight,” said panel member Douglas Kidd, who serves as executive director of the National Association of Airline Passengers and voted in favor of the report.

The FAA had a representative on the 28-member panel, but could not immediately say whether Administrator Michael Huerta had received a copy of the report yet.

It could be some time before the FAA acts on those recommendations.

According to media reports, the guidelines would cover allowing passengers to use e-readers, listen to music on iPods or watch movies on laptops at altitudes below 10,000 feet, though bans on cellphone calls and Internet use would remain.

Kidd predicted Huerta would try to act “expeditiously” to adopt new electronic-device rules, but said it would still be a heavy lift. He declined to guess exactly how long it could take.

“The FAA will need a little bit of time to translate the recommendations and decide how to do it,” Kidd said. “And airplane manufacturers will need time to work through their systems.

“How long will it take? Hopefully sooner rather than later,” he added. “But this is a big bureaucracy and a big industry and people need time.”

The advisory group was first formed in August 2012 in response to increasing pressure from consumers to be able to use their electronic devices throughout their flights.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story was unclear about the time frame panel member Douglas Kidd predicted for the rules. Kidd predicts Huerta will try to act expeditiously to adopt the new rules.
